Hey thanks for that, it kinda works. I copied your code into my new file called php.ini but now I have the problem that anytime I save a post or page I get the white screen.
if I delete the url down to http://www.mysite.co.uk/wp-admin/ then I can get back in but it happens every time. Do you have any ideas on this one?

If you are on wordpress multisite It won’t have effect till you made the changes I described earlier on the database. But devin is true it could just depend of your host.
Good luck

Looks like BlueHost does not allow major over rides of max file size:

I found nothing in this article to be true. There’s no PHP.INI file, using yours still does not work.

Uploading a simple *.wmv to be displayed on a simple WP theme has turned a 10 minute job into a two and a half hour job. “.htaccess” file manipulation is also a waste of my time.

I’ll try the Memory Bump thing, but I have my doubts.

Moving right along…

Thanks that worked for me. I had uploaded your php.ini file and now I can upload 1000 MB files :)

In a wordpress multi site installation you ‘ll have to change manually some values in site_meta table :
They are:
1. blog_upload_space – The amount of space a single blog has to upload files to
2. fileupload_maxk – The largest file that may be uploaded (I believe this is in bytes)
3. upload_filetypes – This restricts the MIME type that can be uploaded I believe through the Flash uploader

Verified that this no longer works on newer WordPress installations. Tested it on 3.2.1 without success. :(

Yes, all the newer installs have it at 64mb.

Can anyone else verify this? Matt, did you find a different solution?
